Police Release Sketches Of Jewelry Store Robbers

Whitehall Township police on Thursday released sketches of the two men involved in an armed robbery of Kay Jewelers at the Whitehall Mall on Monday night.

Police said the robbers are black. One was described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds and was clean-shaven and wearing dark sunglasses, a tan jacket and brown and white sneakers.

The other was described as 6 feet 2 inches tall and 250 pounds. He had a scruffy beard and was wearing a black leather jacket and white sneakers.

Police believe the men used a stolen car in the robbery. The car was stolen from the Lehigh Valley Mall and was recovered in the Borders Books parking lot next to Sears at the Whitehall Mall, police said.

The stolen car matched the description of the getaway car seen leaving the area of the jewelry store after it was robbed of what police said was a "considerable amount" of jewelry.
